The use of 'Windows' is also widespread. Over the years it has been
patched more times than a human can count. Does this mean administrators
should enforce the use of other operating systems?

To make a sharp statement; most web scripts around has some kind of bug,
at some point, that will compromise the site and/or even more.

My view is that there will always be bugs, and people to find them and
use them. So the only thing we can do is to prepare for it to happen.
Thank god for mod_sec :)
